Sendas Distribuidora Q4: Despite Positive Performance, Caution Is Essential
I recommend holding Sendas Distribuidora shares, due to improving results but challenging Brazilian macroeconomic conditions and high interest rates. Sendas Distribuidora's revenue grew 9.5% y/y, driven by new store openings and food inflation, with improved margins and profitability. The company's deleveraging efforts and pragmatic 2025 strategy are positive, but the high Brazilian interest rate curve poses risks.

Sendas Distribuidora Q2: High Leverage Overshadows Profitability
Despite improved margins from cost control and store maturation, the company's high leverage remains a concern, impacting profitability. Valuation shows a potential downside of 6.7%, making the shares unattractive; however, a potential merger with Grupo Mateus could alter the outlook. Overall, advise waiting for further deleveraging and developments regarding the merger before making any changes to the investment position.
